Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty Of every person who
has used BOschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptiye, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported Such medicine as
the German Syrup cannot be too wide
ly known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10
cents. Regular size, rs cents. Sold
by all Druggist and Dealers, in the
United States and Canada.

The ChattarOi Link.

An Associated press dispatch reports
that the Chattaroi Railroad was sold
last week at the United States Court
room, in Covington, KY, under an
order of sale from the United States
Circuit Court, and bought by George
c. Wood, representing the purchasing
committee of the bond holders for $780,
600. Besides the roadway, the pur-
chase also includes locomotives, 200
coal cars, 2 combination, 2 mail and
80 box cars.
AS the purchasers are the Massachu-
sets and Southern Construction Com
pany, and this road is to become a
link in the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago Railroad, a brief history of
the enterprise and the circumstances
leading to its sale will he OF interest to
our readers.
The road is constructed from Ash
land, KY, up the big Sandy River, to
Richardson, KY, a distance of fifty
miles 1t was built between the years
1880 and 1888, and from misunder-
standing between the different bond
holders was placed in the hands of a
receiver in 1885. For more than a
year the Massachusetts and Southern
Construction Company have been ne
gotiating with the bondholders of tie
road with view to its control. With
its extensive waterfront wharfage and
sheds at Ashland, and direct commun-
ication with Cincinnati by water and
rail, it was regarded as most valuable
outlet for the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago Railroad to the Ohio
river and the Northwest.
The road was loaded down with
three sets Of mortgages and bonds, be.
sides million dollars of stock and a
heavy floating debt. An agreement
was finally reached, in October, 1886,
and completed last February, whereby
the whole property was to come into
the possession of the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Company. The
stock and different kinds of bonds
were cancelled and deposited with a
trust company The Court made a
decree of sale 50 that the title could
be unquestioned hereafter and the
road was purchased as above stated.
By the purchase, the line of the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad is completed from Charles
ton to the Ohio River After the con-
tract was made in October, whereby
the @, Q. & c., should gain control of
the Chattaroi, the extention from
Richardson to the Virginia line was
at once commenced. The work is now
we'll advanced and is being rapidly
pushed. Taken in connection with

The druggists OF the State held a
meeting in Nashville on the 18th, in
the course OF which the now noted
Liquor Law and the relief from same 4,
which was passed by the last Legis-
lature, was reviewed and discussed.
AS is well known, the law requires all
druggists doing business in the State,
and who use alcohol in any form in
their business, to take out State and
county license as retail liquor dealers.
The druggists almost unanimously ig-
nored the law, and last year suit was
brought against certain leading firms
in Nashville to COMPEL them to pay
the tax, and the courts decided that
under the law they were liable, not
only for 1856 but for 81, '82, 'S3, "a and
$50 also As it would have been al
most ruin had the collection been en-
forced, the druggists wisely went to
work and secured the passage of bill
relieving them of the tax. The Nash
vile druggists being on the scene OF
action, and the ones against whom
the suits were directly brought, though
every druggist in the State were equal
ly concerned, did the work and bore
the expense incident to securing the
passage of the bill. At the meeting in
Nashville the other day, the question
OF whether all the druggists of the
State were not under moral obligation
to bear a share Of this expense, was
discussed. A delegate from Chatta
nooga said those Of that city had theil
share of it ready to pay over as soon a:
they knew to whom to pay it, 1t was
finally decided that the matter should
be laid before the druggists of the
State through the press, and all who
are willing to help be requested tC
correspond with r. H. Gordon, Of
Demoyille & Co., Nashville.

very short time, but life was extinct.
He had been told he would get drown

The immigrants landed at Castle

period last year, AS a rule they are

are the least to be desired. We get
only the lower elements, men who
groyel for small pay, hoard their saw
ings and then return to their old

The lrishmen now coming over pretty
generally have friends here who have
sent for them. Much money is thus
kept from the pockets of the landlords.

The amount of railroad building in
the United States this year has been
nearly equal to that of any other Pc
Rod in the history of the country.
The Railroad Review says "The evil
dence which was presented one month
ago that the work OF railway construc-
ton during 1887 is to be very large is
fully supported by the returns of
tracklaying received in April. Our
records now show that from January
LIST to May LIST there have been laid N
the United States no less than 1854
miles OF new main tracks on 65 differ
ent lines in % Of the States and Ter
ritories. This isan addition of 5o4
miles during the last month, and
shows total which has never before
been equalled during tho same period,
with the exception of the first four
months of 1882, when some $500
miles of new track were reported.
The total length of new line for that
year (1ss2) was II ,56s miles by far
the greatest mileage laid in any one
year. During the first four months
OF 1886 our reports showed only 666

The Effects Of Mental Exhaus-

Many diseases, especially those ofthe nervous
system, are the products of daily renewed men
tai exhaustion. Business ayocatlons often in

judicial to physical health, and the professions,
If arduously pursued, are no less destructive
to nerve and brain tissue. 1t is one of the most
important attributes of Hostrters Stomache Bit
ters, that it conpensates for this undue loss of
tissue and that it imparts new energy to the
brain and nerves. The rapidity with which it
renews weakened mental energy and phi yslcal
vitality is remarkable, and shows that its invig-
Grating properties are of the highest order. Be
sides increasing vital stamina, and counter
acting the effects of mental exhaustion, this po-
tential medicine cures and prevents fever and
ague, rheumatism, choronic dyspepsia and
constipation, kidney and uterine weakness and
other complaints. Physicians also commend it
